Hough, Romeyn Beck. Handbook of the trees of the northern states and Canada, east of the Rocky mountains; photo-descriptive, buck. $8. Hough.
7–31197.
“A new guide-book to the trees of the northern states and Canada devotes two pages to each species. One page bears a photographic reproduction showing a group of leaves (both sides) and fruit. The other page has a photograph of the trunk of the tree, showing the distinguishing peculiarities of the bark, a small map showing by shading the range of the tree’s growth, and a short, clear description of its characteristics.”—Outlook.
“We cannot think of an item which would contribute to greater completeness. Everything that has been attempted seems to have been well planned and well executed. The book may be commended as indispensable for public and school libraries, for all students of trees, and botanical laboratories.” C. R. B.

“There is nothing but praise for the work as a whole. This handbook should be widely useful in nature libraries, schools and colleges.”

“The book is admirably adapted for the average person who wants to be able to tell the trees apart with the least possible study.”
